Unoriginal or just little brother syndrome?Follow

Occasionally, due to either fat-finger syndrome or boredom, I find myself clicking hte "OOT Forum" link in the navigation of the Allas site eq style sheet. Moments ago it occured again. I was almost fooled into thinking I had correctly clicked on "The Asylum" because many of the threads there were on the same topics that we are or have recently discussed here. Curiously, I decided (against my better judgment) to click in and have a peek to see what was being said in the topics such as "The Star-Spangled Banner, in Spanish" and "Wii". I was not disappointed! They completely lived up to my expectiations of being filled with utter nonsense and unintellectual conversation (I use the term conversation loosely).

I have not linked these threads as to save you all from the pain and suffering that would come of it.

This lends however to my question (the topic); What possesses these people to start identical thread topics in the OOT? Do they come to the asylum, see an interesting topic then like a little squirrel or chipmunk take it back to the safety of their burrow and post it to look like they are all intellegent? I figure it is either this or they have serious Asylum envy and want to be like us jsut like the little brother wants to be like his older. stronger and more intellegent brother.

I do not even entertain the idea that they went out to the internet and found the topics themselves because the execution of presentation is absolutly terrible, many times it can be simplified down to -link- & LOLBIFRONZ!

What do you think the reason is?

I try not to go in there out of the idea that it's more of a commentary on the company I like to keep versus choosing to entertain myself with their unfortunate lack of intellect.

The forum=28'ers work too hard at villifying Asylumites for them to be unenvious; if theirs were an independant existance they would not consistantly try to ape their betters.

I think their behavior springs largely out of a cargo cult practice; if they make threads with titles like the ones here, perhaps an Asylumite will come back to shower wisdom and flames upon the believers.

As of today. . . .

maybe

A briefing today is that we're moving from 570 employees to 75 and job interviews (everyone has to apply) run May through June.

If the interviews for my post are in late May or June, it's a yes. Otherwise, you'll just have to drink Guinness on my behalf.

you know, Im starting to suspect that all these maybes and new reasons why yourenot sure you can make it or not is just one excuse after another. I could have been fine and understanding over one or 3 excuses. But now youre getting a tad excessive.

I think that people post topics like the ones in the Asylum in the OOT so that they can safely discuss it. You all have to admit, you're not the kindest Hosts/Hostesses. So, they take the conversation somewhere where they feel safer. Yeah, a lot of people worry about their Karma, and though I have seen you let people's posts slip by, its not often. The ones that do get by are often not even responded to I've notice also. So yeah, that is probably why.

Well put, Samira.

I dunno, have you driven by a highschool lately and leered at the over-sexualized and early to mature youths?

'Cause I haven't, either, but it doesn't remind me of forum=28.

They talk dirty to one another in their journals. I actually did see some of the posts in there, well, parts of them anyway, and it's pretty freakin' funny.

better

I've just figured the ultimate way of executing Codyy

Wait until he's having a drink, then slam the toilet seat down on his neck.

"OH! I've got it! Call her FAT!"
"Ooooh, burn, good one! I'll write that one down."
"And, and, and, a doodyhead!"
"Awesome! How do you come up with this material?"
